The Rossoneri earlier this week confirmed they had sacked previous boss Clarence Seedorf and replaced him with former Primavera tactician Inzaghi.

“It’s a big gamble that Berlusconi has taken but he has gone for a boy who eats, drinks, sleeps and dreams football,” Del Piero, who played alongside Inzaghi while the pair were at Juventus, told reporters.

“I don’t know how he will do as a Coach because it’s a new experience. It is a good challenge that Milan have decided to undertake. I wish him luck because I have won a lot with him.”
